Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
Students in 1L celebrated Read Across America this week! We began a unit diving deeply into the writing and illustrations of Dr. Seuss. We discussed how his books rhyme, have deep messages, how they include made up words and many animal characters. We found out that Dr. Seuss lived in Massachusetts over 100 years ago and that his books have been helping children learn to read ever since! We also learned about his writing process, where he got his inspiration for characters and stories and how Seuss was really his middle name!
We also had the chance to truly "read across America," by Skyping with a classroom in Washington state! We performed a shared reading of Green Eggs and Ham, and then asked the students questions about their school, the weather, and about their experiences with Dr. Seuss literature.

Have an excellent weekend!
Love,
Mrs. L
